| 3 | ## Overview |
| 4 | |
| 5 | Infographics are visual representations of information, data, or knowledge designed to present complex content quickly and clearly. **This skill uses Nano Banana Pro AI for infographic generation with Gemini 3 Pro quality review and Perplexity Sonar for research.** |
| 6 | |
| 7 | **How it works:** |
| 8 | - (Optional) **Research phase**: Gather accurate facts and statistics using Perplexity Sonar |
| 9 | - Describe your infographic in natural language |
| 10 | - Nano Banana Pro generates publication-quality infographics automatically |
| 11 | - **Gemini 3 Pro reviews quality** against document-type thresholds |
| 12 | - **Smart iteration**: Only regenerates if quality is below threshold |
| 13 | - Professional-ready output in minutes |
| 14 | - No design skills required |
| 15 | |
| 16 | **Quality Thresholds by Document Type:** |
| 17 | | Document Type | Threshold | Description | |
| 18 | |---------------|-----------|-------------| |
| 19 | | marketing | 8.5/10 | Marketing materials - must be compelling | |
| 20 | | report | 8.0/10 | Business reports - professional quality | |
| 21 | | presentation | 7.5/10 | Slides, talks - clear and engaging | |
| 22 | | social | 7.0/10 | Social media content | |
| 23 | | internal | 7.0/10 | Internal use | |
| 24 | | draft | 6.5/10 | Working drafts | |
| 25 | | default | 7.5/10 | General purpose | |
| 26 | |
| 27 | **Simply describe what you want, and Nano Banana Pro creates it.** |
| 28 | |
| 29 | ## Quick Start |
| 30 | |
| 31 | Generate any infographic by simply describing it: |
| 32 | |
| 33 | ```bash |
| 34 | # Generate a list infographic (default threshold 7.5/10) |
| 35 | python skills/infographics/scripts/generate_infographic.py \ |
| 36 | "5 benefits of regular exercise" \ |
| 37 | -o figures/exercise_benefits.png --type list |
| 38 | |
| 39 | # Generate for marketing (highest threshold: 8.5/10) |
| 40 | python skills/infographics/scripts/generate_infographic.py \ |
| 41 | "Product features comparison" \ |
| 42 | -o figures/product_comparison.png --type comparison --doc-type marketing |
| 43 | |
| 44 | # Generate with corporate style |
| 45 | python skills/infographics/scripts/generate_infographic.py \ |
| 46 | "Company milestones 2010-2025" \ |
| 47 | -o figures/timeline.png --type timeline --style corporate |
| 48 | |
| 49 | # Generate with colorblind-safe palette |
| 50 | python skills/infographics/scripts/generate_infographic.py \ |
| 51 | "Heart disease statistics worldwide" \ |
| 52 | -o figures/health_stats.png --type statistical --palette wong |
| 53 | |
| 54 | # Generate WITH RESEARCH for accurate, up-to-date data |
| 55 | python skills/infographics/scripts/generate_infographic.py \ |
| 56 | "Global AI market size and growth projections" \ |
| 57 | -o figures/ai_market.png --type statistical --research |
| 58 | ``` |
| 59 | |
| 60 | **What happens behind the scenes:** |
| 61 | 1. **(Optional) Research**: Perplexity Sonar gathers accurate facts, statistics, and data |
| 62 | 2. **Generation 1**: Nano Banana Pro creates initial infographic following design best practices |
| 63 | 3. **Review 1**: **Gemini 3 Pro** evaluates quality against document-type threshold |
| 64 | 4. **Decision**: If quality >= threshold → **DONE** (no more iterations needed!) |
| 65 | 5. **If below threshold**: Improved prompt based on critique, regenerate |
| 66 | 6. **Repeat**: Until quality meets threshold OR max iterations reached |
| 67 | |
| 68 | **Smart Iteration Benefits:** |
| 69 | - ✅ Saves API calls if first generation is good enough |
| 70 | - ✅ Higher quality standards for marketing materials |
| 71 | - ✅ Faster turnaround for drafts/internal use |
| 72 | - ✅ Appropriate quality for each use case |
| 73 | |
| 74 | **Output**: Versioned images plus a detailed review log with quality scores, critiques, and early-stop information. |
| 75 | |
| 76 | ## When to Use This Skill |
| 77 | |
| 78 | Use the **infographics** skill when: |
| 79 | - Presenting data or statistics in a visual format |
| 80 | - Creating timeline visualizations for project milestones or history |
| 81 | - Explaining processes, workflows, or step-by-step guides |
| 82 | - Comparing options, products, or concepts side-by-side |
| 83 | - Summarizing key points in an engaging visual format |
| 84 | - Creating geographic or map-based data visualizations |
| 85 | - Building hierarchical or organizational charts |
| 86 | - Designing social media content or marketing materials |
| 87 | |
| 88 | **Use scientific-schematics instead for:** |
| 89 | - Technical flowcharts and circuit diagrams |
| 90 | - Biological pathways and molecular diagrams |
| 91 | - Neural network architecture diagrams |
| 92 | - CONSORT/PRISMA methodology diagrams |

| 96 | ## Research Integration |
| 97 | |
| 98 | ### Automatic Data Gathering (`--research`) |
| 99 | |
| 100 | When creating infographics that require accurate, up-to-date data, use the `--research` flag to automatically gather facts and statistics using **Perplexity Sonar Pro**. |
| 101 | |
| 102 | ```bash |
| 103 | # Research and generate statistical infographic |
| 104 | python skills/infographics/scripts/generate_infographic.py \ |
| 105 | "Global renewable energy adoption rates by country" \ |
| 106 | -o figures/renewable_energy.png --type statistical --research |
| 107 | |
| 108 | # Research for timeline infographic |
| 109 | python skills/infographics/scripts/generate_infographic.py \ |
| 110 | "History of artificial intelligence breakthroughs" \ |
